Question

strain happens to rocks as a result of applied stress, and depends on external conditions. factors that affect the type and amount of resultant strain include:
(select all that apply)
physical properties of the minerals
color of the rock
age of the rock
temperature of the rock
rock composition
type of rock
chemical properties of the minerals
magnetic properties of the rock

Explanation:

• Physical properties of minerals (like hardness, ductility) determine how rocks deform under stress.
• Temperature affects rock ductility; higher temps make rocks more ductile, changing strain type.
• Rock composition and type dictate the rock's overall mechanical response to stress.
• Chemical properties of minerals influence how rocks react to stress and environmental conditions during strain.
• Color, age, and magnetic properties do not directly impact the type or amount of strain from applied stress.

Answer:

• physical properties of the minerals
• temperature of the rock
• rock composition
• type of rock
• chemical properties of the minerals
